The Mandalorian's Grogu might not yet be big enough to wield a lightsaber, but he just might be adept enough to build one in a new officially licensed wall poster from Shop Trends. And it just might foreshadow what's in store for the character after his most recent appearance in the Disney+ series.
The poster, illustrated by Russell Walks and entitled "Size Matters Not," shows Grogu -- still known as Baby Yoda by many -- Force-levitating pieces of an unassembled lightsaber. A Mandalorian-era Luke Skywalker stands beside him, likewise levitating what's likely a yellow Kyber crystal -- the source of the lightsaber's power. The illustration could possibly serve as a peek into Luke's eventual training of the young Force wielder in the ways of the Jedi Knights.
Grogu -- unnamed at the time -- was introduced in the pilot episode of The Mandalorian. Central protagonist Din Djarin took the infant under his wing while he traversed the galaxy, seeking to deliver Grogu to the Jedi -- believed to be extinct. In the Season 2 finale, Grogu was rescued from Moff Gideon by way of the unexpected arrival of the galaxy's last Jedi Knight, Luke Skywalker. Luke departed with Grogu at the end of the episode.
While Grogu was shown to be able to skillfully use The Force in the series, he has yet to be seen wielding a lightsaber. In Star Wars lore, constructing a lightsaber is known to be part of a Jedi's training. While the color of a Jedi's blade has historically been shown to typically either be blue or green, the crystal shown on the poster is yellow, curiously enough.
The last canon appearance of a yellow lightsaber blade was that of Rey's own newly built weapon in the final moments of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Will Grogu ultimately wield a yellow lightsaber, like Rey eventually does? Time will tell. In the meantime, fans can order the poster directly from Shop Trends.
Seasons 1 and 2 of The Mandalorian are currently streaming on Disney+.
